Hi everyone, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for their participation in this forum over the last 10 years. There have been many memorable members past and present that I think about regularly and you have considerably widen my views and understanding about turtles and life. I look forward to the new members who will continue to add to our knowledge, I look forward to the new adventures with our shelled friends, and remember, "Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. -James Bryant Conant"

Wow, congrats on taking good care of this forum for 10 years! That is very special. There are many animal and pet care forums on the internet. I often looking for them because I take in a lot of injured wild life and discarded pets so it seems I'm always looking to learn about a new animal and how to care for them. The majority of these forums were started in the earlier days of the internet and many are now dormant-not well cared for. This site is a wonderful exception to that! Its clear that much TLC and time and has been invested here. Congratulations for a job well done that has no doubt helped many (Rainforest Jasper says it has certainly helped her)! We are grateful for this resource!

11th anniversary is approaching...and I need to say this is THE best and MOST comprehensive website on the entire internet, when it comes to information about red ear sliders. I have (and still am) learning from it.

As I am posting this, I guess I should be saying happy 11th anniversary instead.

Indeed, 10 years is a very long time. I wasn't aware that the turtle talk forum was this old! I'd also like to give my thanks to the forum for being there to support and helping all members of the community that had existed since the day the site opened, and for new members that may join in the future. May all turtle-loving owners enjoy their stay here!
